City Of Havana.
The island has more fine harbors
than any other country of its size, and
it is no wonder that the buccaneers Of
the Spanish main selected it as the
center of their piratical enterprises. It
has two hundred and sixty rivers and
plenty of fresh water springs. 1t never
SHOWS in Cuba, though the ice some
times forms upon the mountains. The
babies can go naked here the year
around. and as for the stocking trade
of Havana its customers are confined
to the higher classes. Neither stock
inss nor suspendcrs are used by the
laborcrs, and doubt whether there
are one thousa nd pairs of suspenders
worn by the 1900. 600 people who make
up that Islands population. They use
instead belt strap. and the majority
Of the workirgmen of the island con-
fine their apparel to an undershirt and
trousers. The better class of men
dress in white duck, with Panama
hats.
The lower class of women wear few
underclothes. and calico wrapper
and y pair of hcclless slippers are a
wardrobe. There are no carpets on
the floors or plaster on ceilings. Iron
bars take the place of glass windows.

and the horses are washed in the har-
bors instead of being curried. There
are no bricks used in the sidewalks,
and the average sidewalk is three feet
wide and of stone. The building
stone used is porous one, and this
is covered with stucco. Havana has
parks. but there is no grass in them,
and as for shade. it can be got only by
going to the mountains.
The policemen carry swords and
guns, and the offices of all kinds are
filled by Spaniards. There are no
mattresses on the Cuban beds, and as
for feather pillows. there are not
enough feathers used here to make a
wad for the earache. There are few
china pitchers used in Havana. and the
drinking-mug is of porous clay. with
hole at the top, out of which the
water is poured into the mouth in a
trickling stream. Red brick tiles takes
the place of shingles, and the tops of
the houses are used in the evenings for
sitting-rooms. The gardens of Havana
are inside the houses, instead of be-
hind them.
The Cuban takes oranges, bread and
butter and coffee for breakfast He
pares his oranges as we do apples. and
you find plates of pared oranges be-
fore You on the table when you sit
down to the morning meal. The way
to eat these oranges is to drive fork
into them, plant your teeth firmly into
the lucious fruit and suck the juice.
Tho Cuban breakfast is taken on ris-
ing. and theu another breakfast about
nine or ten o'clock. This is more like
the American meal, and the whole city
knocks off for it. Passing along the
street at this time You may see fami-
lies at their meals through the open
windows and doors. and an hour or
two later the whole town seems to be
taking a siesta. Dinner is eaten be-
tween five and six o'clock. and the
stores keep open until about nine
O'clock in the evening. Home Journal

Emfgrants SWindlod.

CINCINNATI. Aug. A-Ccmplaint'h having
been made that emigrants 1t Castle Gar
den were swindled by paper resembling
States money, but called college currency,
steps were taken to find out its origin. It
was found in Jacob Lo;g's printing Office,
n Hamilton, O., and quite q number Of
plates were seized and Mr.. Long warned to
print no more Of it. The imitation of United
States notes was close, especially the back
Of the note. The currency was not issued to
deceive, but for use in business colleges,
but swindlers found it convenient to use on
strangers, and az the statutes forbid the
making Of any imitation of United States
currency for any purpose, the plates are
cuntrabard.

Last Sunday Rev. Hippolytus Smooth

it did not possess that unfathomable
depth of bOttomlcss profundity and
limitlcss breadth of encyclopaedia eru-
dition so characteristic of the discursive
expositions of Rev. Philetus Dobbs, d.
d.. but nevertheless. taken all in all, it
may be considered model anniversary
sermon. Especially instructive and
suggestive were the statistics which. so
tar as we have observed, were of kind
never before introduced in discourse
of this nature. and it is to this model
feature Of the sermon that we desire
especially to direct the attention Of
young ministers, who have yet to make
their mark in anniversary efforts.

Short Talks WithsMy Boys.

Boys, do not try to learn to use tobacco.
Stop minute and let us consider the mat
ter. Why should you wish to learn? Oh,
because Harry uses it, that is your reason.
Well, does it do Harry any good? You
''don't know as it does" Very we'll then,
let's consider the reasons against its use.
In the first place, it is injurious to the
health; it is also expensive, and moreover,
filthy. Now how do the ayes and noes bal
ance? Don't for moment imagine it is a
"smart" thing to do. Any fool can learn
to use it, but it sometimes takes smart
boy to have manliness to refuse to do as his
silly mates are doing. By this do not
mean to be understood as saying only fools
use tobacco, but do say there is nothing
smart or manly in learning to use it. Moth
ing smart, but that other thing that peO-
pie designate with sneer as ''smarty."
have nothing severe to say to those who
have become confirmed in the habit OF, u.s.
ing the weed, for habit is as remoreless as
a pair of handouts, but have no patience
| with the beginner who will nauseate him
self, and suffer the torture of accustoming
| himself to the nuisance, when he would be
thousand times better without it. We
hear every day of cases of heart disease ag-
gravated by the use of tobacco; of that
horror, smokers cancer, and now comes a
report from London of blindness from the
same cause. Here is what London pa
per says on the subject
Tobacco blindness is becoming COM
mon afniction. At present there are sew
eral persons under treatmen for it at one
London hospital. 1t first takes the form ol
color blindness, the sufferers who have
smoked themselves into this condition be
ing quite unable to distinguish the color o.

Sometimes the victim loses his sight alto

extent the cause of the malady, heavy
drinking is also partly responsible"

Spring Farm Cleaning.

While the wife cleans the house, let the
husband clean the farm. If vegetable mat
ter is left about the yard, its rapid decay
during the damp, warm weather of spring
and summer, will poison the air and affect
the health of the family. If left about the
barn, lots and fields, it will have like in
fluence on the farm animals. Hogs are
doubly liable to be injured, for they not
only breathe the fouled air, but nest in
such litter. Farm cleaning will save loss
from disease. The litter has great value as
fertilizer when properly applied. The
intelligent use of this manure ensures bet
ter crops, and the farm is capable of a
more thorough cultivation. And then how
much appearances are improved. Make a
bonfire of pieces of wood, brush, stumps,
&C., not fit for fuel, and give the charcoal
to the swine and the ashes to the fruit
trees. Remember this work is not COM
pete until those stumps and stones are re-
moved which can be taken out with rea-
sonable amount of labor; until the trees
about the house and in the orchard arc
pruned until the old growth is taken from
raspberries, gooseberries, currants, &c.
until the ''underbrush" is cleared out OF
the wood-lot; until all the bitches are
opened and pools are drained; in short,
until the farm is clean and neat. Cenveni-
emily enough, nearly all, OF allof this work,
can be done before the spring blowing is
begun. American Agricalturistf for March.

GEORGE d. PRENTICE.

'Tis morn-the sea breeze seems to bring
Joy, health and freshness on its wing;
Bright flowers. to me all strange and new,
Are glittering in the early dew,
And perfumes rise from every grove
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits o'er yon welkin clear;
ButI am sad-thou art not here!
IT'S noon-a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep;
soft haze, like fairy dream,
Is floating over wood and stream;
And many broad magnolia flower,
Within Its shadowy woodland bower,
Is cleaning like lovely star;
But am sad-thou art afar!
'Tis eve-on earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes;
The stars come down, and trembling glow
Like blossoms on the waves below;
And, like an unseen spirit, the breeze
Seems lingering midst these orange trees,
Breathing its music round the spot;
But am sad-I see thee not!
'Tis midnight-with soothing spell
The far tones of the ocean swell,
Soft as a mothers cadence mild,
Low bending DER her sleeping child,
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes of the mocking-bird,
In many a wild and wondrous lay;
But am sad-theu art away!
sink in dreams low, sweet, and clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear;
Around my neck thy tresses twine;
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine;
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed;
Thy head is pillowed on my breast;
Oh! have all my heart holds dear;
And am happy-thou art hersl
